Datasheet

Overview

The MSRC-C23500FPX-M100-MFA is a member of the VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family of stabilized, fiber-coupled, fixed-wavelength emitters. This configuration combines thermoelectrically cooled (TEC'd) Fabry-Perot lasers at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, multiplexed to a single output on single-mode fiber with an FC/APC connector.

Fabry-Perot lasers emit light at commonly used discrete wavelengths, with a spectral width in the region of 5 nm and a high output power level. Cooled FP lasers are suited to general loss measurements of broadband optical components. Isolators in the module maintain stability in the presence of reflections from open PC or dirty connectors.

The source operates in constant current or constant power mode with at least 10 dB of power tuning range from maximum power down, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz with a fixed 50% duty cycle.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the MAP LightDirect module family and is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. The MAP platform is LXI compliant, offers SCPI-based automation drivers and PC-based management tools, and provides a web-enabled multiuser interface with summary and detailed module views.
